INGREDIENTS MEASUREMENT

One of important step for making good bread is proper amount of ingredients. It is
strongly suggested that use measuring cup or measuring spoon to obtain accurate
amount, otherwise the bread will be largely influenced.
1. Weighing liquid ingredients
Water, fresh milk or milk powder solution should be measured with measuring cups.
Observe the level of the measuring cup with your eyes horizontally. When you
measure cooking oil or other ingredients, clean the measuring cup thoroughly with-
out any other ingredients.
2. Dry measurements
Dry measuring must be done by gently spooning ingredients into the measuring cup
and then once filled, leveling off with a knife. Scooping or tapping a measuring cup
with more than is required. This extra amount could affect the balance of the recipe.
When measuring small amounts of dry ingredients, the measuring spoon must be
used. Measurements must be level, not heaped as this small difference could throw
out the critical balance of the recipe.
3. Adding sequence
The sequence of adding ingredients should be abided, generally speaking, the se-
quence is: liquid ingredient, eggs, salt and milk powder etc. When adding the ingre-
dient, the flour can't be wetted by liquid completely. The yeast can only be placed
on the dry flour. And yeast can't touch with salt. When you use the delay function
for a long time, never add the perishable ingredients such as eggs, fruit ingredient.
